Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Constant hunger in a diabetic person implies
1. Uncontrolled diabetes
2. Hyperthyroidism
3. Anxiety
4. depression
5. drugs
I would like to advise you to have HbA1c; FBS, TFTs done and let doctor see your report.
Take plenty of water at least 8-10 glasses that will fill your stomach and will decrease your satiety.
Hope it helps best.
